yeah having a unicameral legislature would be...interesting. a while back i was all in favor of having one house; i thought that state legislatures tended to be weak when compared to state executives and that unifying the legislative power into a single house would level the playing field. Now, however, i'm really not sure. after watching a few states more closely, there is an astounding amount of crazy poo poo that passes one house only to die or be voted down by the other house. Like really, really stupid poo poo. So maybe bicameralism does help? But maybe those crazy bills only get through one house in the first place because they figure that the other house will kill it anyway so they might as well scratch Representative Crazy-rear end' back. I want to talk with someone who follows Nebraska politics about it.
